Winchester Power-Point is one of the most widely used soft point hunting bullets in North America, and the 64 grain version gives the 223 more weight for medium game where it is legal. This listing is Winchester Super-X 223 Remington 64 grain Power-Point ammo, MPN X223R2, sold as a 200 round case.
Winchester rates this load at 3,020 fps with 1,296 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Power-Point bullet has an exposed lead tip and a tapered, notched jacket that controls expansion, so it opens reliably while holding together better than a varmint bullet. The heavier 64 grain bullet carries more momentum and penetrates deeper than 55 grain soft points, which is why hunters choose it for coyotes, hogs, and deer in states that allow the 223 for deer. It is a classic cup-and-core hunting bullet, priced well below premium bonded loads.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, or 223 Wylde, including AR-15 hunting rifles, the Ruger American and Mini-14 Ranch Rifle, Savage Axis and 110, Remington 700, Winchester XPR, Tikka T3x, and CZ 600. A common question is whether 64 grain bullets stabilize in a 1:12 twist barrel. Many 1:12 barrels stabilize them, but 1:9 or faster twist is the safer bet, so check accuracy in your rifle. Another common question is whether the 223 is enough for deer. Some states allow it and some do not, and shot placement matters a great deal with any small caliber, so check your regulations and keep shots at reasonable distances.
Winchester X223R2 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive. This case comes in factory packaging as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds of 223 Rem 64 grain Power-Point. Buying by the case lets you sight in, practice, and hunt with the same lot.
